Event Details

Figure skating is the most watched Olympic sport and for good reason! The intense technical precision of steel blades on ice, blended with the artistic nuance of dance makes for a super fun experience. Now you will have a chance to get a taste of what it takes to begin. With a little determination, knowing the right techniques, and a little practice, learning how to figure skate can be easy and a lot of fun. Whether your goal is to skate backward, spin really fast, or just feel more comfortable skating on outdoors parks, this class will show you the basics.

Special Notes:

  1. Figure skating attendees can rent skates from High Altitude for free, but you’re welcome to bring your own.
  2. Please arrive 15 minutes early to get your skates on the way you’d like before instruction. Figure skating instruction begins at 10:30am.

NEW this year! Snoflinga and Ability MT are teaming up to ensure people with disabilities can participate in the activities. This includes providing equipment for mobility needs and/or adaptive coaching methods. If you’re unsure whether these activities are possible for you, please complete the assistance request form before registering to explore ways we can remove barriers to participation.
